Ask the Experts Session at VMworld 2009

If you are one of the lucky individuals heading to VMworld 2009 in San Francisco at the end of August, you might want to consider adding Session TA2259 "Ask the Experts at VMworld 2009" to your agenda.

This session has proven to be an interesting and worth while session to attend in the past.  Rather than the information coming directly from VMware or one of the many vendors or partners who were lucky enough to be selected to present this year, this session comes from the hearts and minds of some of the folks who operate the great virtualization blog sites that you probably enjoy every day. 

The other nice thing, if you want to participate, you might be able to submit a question or two on their blog sites for review during the live session!  Need some help?  Who better to ask then these experts?

Session ID: TA2259
